Valentine Pencil Toppers

Decorate pencils with foam conversation hearts for your children to give to their friends on Valentine's Day.

Approximate Time: Under 1 hour

Supplies:

• scissors
• craft foam
• permanent markers
• chenille stem
• pencil
• glue

Instructions:

Cut a 1- to 2-inch heart from craft foam. With a permanent marker, print a short message on the front and the name of the giver on back. Glue the chenille stem (pipe cleaner) to the bottom of the heart. Coil the pipe cleaner tightly around the pencil. Then gently pull up on the heart so that part of the coil bobs freely above the pencil, with several loops anchored around the eraser end.
